Oud

As early as 1990 I prepared material and made the first drafts for an oud.
It took nearly 20 years until I set my hand to the task and the first Stenzel oud was finished.
Backed up with 20 years of experience in guitar making, it was a delightful pleasure to explore once more another instrument.
A description of the building process of my first oud you can find here.
Since the reactions to this first oud are extremely positive, I am now offering 6- and 7-course ouds on order.
